Bob Mackie Wearable Art Embroidered Denim Button Down Shirt Size M

Bob Mackie understood that clothes could have a sense of humor, drama, and spectacle without waiting for evening.

From his Wearable Art line, this denim shirt is built around an extraordinary embroidered medallion in turquoise, copper, violet and gold tones, extending from the neckline down the button front in cascading geometric detail. Coordinating embroidery finishes the three-quarter sleeves, while Mackie’s signature decorative buttons carry the design straight through the center.

The relaxed, tunic-length silhouette gives all that ornamentation room to breathe. It’s denim, yes—but treated less like a basic and more like a canvas.

Curator’s Note

This is exactly why Bob Mackie’s Wearable Art has become so much fun to collect. The man who built a career around spectacle translated that same instinct for color and embellishment into clothes meant for everyday life. And this one doesn’t whisper Mackie. It announces itself from across the room. �
